Bathers crowd the shallows in this c1903 view, which the caption card labels a "jolly crowd" and which carries B.W. Kilburn's copyright line. Kilburn, a stereograph publisher based in Littleton, New Hampshire, sold views like this to a mass audience eager to see resort life, and Atlantic City was among the most popular seaside destinations of the period. The photograph is a useful record of turn-of-the-century beach fashion, with its loose, heavy bathing suits and wading groups packed close to the surf.
